Oh cool, I'll have to see what it allows you to do.The new beta app does allow this. I'm looking at my XB1X right now & it shows a total of 4TB of space, but that's just my external USB drive. So I guess it's showing your primary storage device.

Full quote : "I don't know if we can talk about this but, we have the Series X here and the Series X is hot, it is hot. It makes 0 noise but on the other hand it gives off heat, it's violent. I mean it's violent... yeah, yeah it's violent. You can warm up thanks to the Series X, clearly. From a sound point of view it's good but from a heat point of view, it's something."
Once we have Series X-specific software to test, and an embargo to match, I'll have more on how hot this runs. Also, anyone who would touch the proprietary expandable NVMe drive's aluminum part after it was being used in the system is not smart. NVMe drives are notorious for running at very high temps. He should probably try a lick test next.
Never even thought of the NVMe heat radiating out of the expansion drive, yeah that will probably get pretty toasty over time but I'd be sceptical that it will affect operation apart from the use case where I was planning on having a pocket full of them and regularly hot swapping them (not sure there is more than two or three oil barons effected by this)
Did Sony and Microsoft meet in a deep, dark room somewhere and agree to swap last generation's console design flaws this go around?
It's not necessarily but depending on where you were planning on putting your Series X it may necessitate moving it away from something else that doesn't behave well with a strong heat source nearby (like a HTPC or NAS). Of course you shouldn't shove consoles into enclosed spaces anyway but a lot of people do and if the Series X is designed to operate at a higher ambient temp than is typical for consoles that may mean people who have gotten away with ignoring that in the past may find themselves tripped up now.Why is it getting hot a design flaw so long as it runs quietly?
If it's quiet, doesn't throttle, runs within spec, sounds like a job well done to me?Did Sony and Microsoft meet in a deep, dark room somewhere and agree to swap last generation's console design flaws this go around?
think we're going to have to wait for proper temp and noise comparisons for all consoles.Edit: To be clear I'm not saying this even is an issue, without actual temps it's hard to say. When I was selling notebooks I've had people describe 30C surface temperature to me as warm to the touch and as "scalding" so I don't put much faith in folks saaying "wow that's toasty" without actual numbers
Caution moving whilst in the middle of a game as exaust may be warm/hot.Seems to be a minor issue
I'ld take heat over noise by a long margin
Though if its designed to be touch, they will have to put some warnings on their / or on the screen and theres danger of being burnt
otherwise they will end up with a lawsuit on their hands ala macdonalds coffee style

Obviously if it's causing 2nd degree burns then, yea a flaw.

From my initial takeaway, xsx and ps5 have done a good job in this regards. (I'm expecting xss to also do well)
No problem, you do see this kind of thought around though.I was just joking. I don't much care how hot a console gets, as long as it remains functional. @orangpelupa and his cats may disagree, however.
The fact that it's quiet is what matters most IMO.
